Bound for DC 9/12

I have my bus ticket to  go to DC on 9/12!  I heard this evening on CBS News (which I don't normally watch) that they were expecting about 3000 people in DC for the rally.  The Bel Air, Maryland contingent alone will number something more than 400, so I estimate that their estimate is off a little.  The guy who arranged the buses that I'll be taking explained that people pestered him to get a couple of buses because they wanted to go to the rally.  He obliged, but people kept showing up giving him money for seat reservations.  Two buses became four, then five, and I believe at the close of the reservation period was up to 8.  We were generally close-lipped about this event at  work, but somebody asked the question and in the blink of an eye 6 people were registering bus reservations.

This will be my third such-themed event, the first being the Annapolis TEA Party April 15 (rained horribly, and the umbrellas made it difficult to see the speakers--or much of anything else for that matter), the other being the Bel Air TEA Party July 4.  There was some participation (and maybe some organization) in Bel Air from Campaign For Liberty (Ron Paul).  I don't necessarily see eye-to-eye with the Libertarians, particularly with regard to foreign policy, but that doesn't detract from these events.  They certainly are not libertarian rallies--so far they are not partisan at all.  I didn't post pics at that time for some reason, so here's a few shots from both events, including a few shots ripped from a Campaign for Liberty Blog Page, cause I was in them.
